If you are an artist at heart and you love beautiful, visually stimulating designs and eye catching photography, you will need to have a firm grasp of the basics of Photoshop. In this course, you will learn all the aspects of Photoshop that will enable you to accomplish the personal projects you have always dreamed of, and you will gain the skill set that will open the door to launching and expanding your career as a freelancer.

I created this practical Udemy course for you—filled with my unique insights from building my own business and teaching Photoshop around the world for over 10 years. My course is packed with project based, real world examples that demystify even the most seemingly complicated of functions, which makes it unlike any other course I’ve seen online.

This course is built specifically to get beginners off the bench and into the game, and it’s uniquely suited for the aspiring photographer and designer. Best of all, zero previous Photoshop experience is required. (Truly.).

Furthermore, for those who share my passion for photography, I added a bonus section on camera tips like how to use white balance and exposure compensation to elevate your photography skills to the next level.

Specifically, this cover will cover:

Making crucial image adjustments to exposure, color, and contrast

Making your projects stand out with color and tone

Creating stunning composites

Resizing, reformatting, cropping, and other tools of the trade

Building an entire client album with a single click

Completing several projects you can use in your own portfolio or with your own clients

Launching your freelancing career

Selling your work and winning more clients with design mockups

Handling last-minute client requests with ease

In addition to basics like tuning up images, making selections, and working with layers, we'll complete several projects you can use to grow your own business, including a logo, two different design mockups, a multi-format promotional piece, and a re-usable album pattern.

I want you to take the hassle out of your hustle because let’s face it: building a new skill set and launching a business can be a lot of work! Beginners will always have a soft spot in my heart because—I've been there. When I was cutting my Photoshop teeth, the Internet was in its very early days, and online learning was a far off dream. So I read books (some left much to be desired) and taught myself, struggling through things the hard way, which propelled me spare others the hassle.

Over the more than 10 years that I've been teaching Photoshop around the world, I've learned that for many who have tried but struggled to gain traction, it's really just a matter of explaining things in such a way that they suddenly click. I'm proud to say that I've been helping things "click" for everyone from hobbyists and total beginners of all ages, to working professionals who want to up their game.

(Not to mention: this is obviously going to be ridiculously fun—right?!? I'll see you in the course!)

Who is the target audience?

Aspiring freelance photographers and designers who want to build their Photoshop skill set to launch or expand their own business

People whose job descriptions have been expanded to include graphic design and Photoshop skills

Photo and design hobbyists interested in various personal projects

This course offers students a comprehensive foundation in Photoshop concepts. It is *not* for advanced users looking for a technically driven deep dive into the blue yonder of obscure Photoshop functions.
